In a Real Life (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4653200.stm) case we have smug athiests-
... Mr Cascioli says he hopes to use the case "to denounce the abuse that the Catholic Church commits by profiting from its prestige to present historical facts as if they are real when they are only inventions".

and Christians using the '100 million Elvis Fans' defense-
The priest has countered that millions around the world have long believed in the evidence of the Gospels as well as thousands of other religious and secular writings.
There is even the snarkyness-

"If Casciolo does not see the sun in the sky at midday, he cannot sue me because I see it and he does not," he has said.

And some people say forums aren't the 'real world'...

In many ways the NS General forum is better. Here, dipshits like Pat Robertson can get forum banned. In the real world, they just get on CNN. :p

Don't be the stoned hippie guy who biked to the party that no one remembers inviting who's sitting by the pipe like a conversation venus fly trap..."Like, what is 'real,' man. I mean, like, real is what we think it is, but how do we know that what we think is real is real, man? You gonna pack that?"






I know that's not really what you meant, I just wanted to do that...

No, Pat would be one of those guys who's constantly on the edge who occasionally just says something totally batshit but some of the casual observers don't understand why some people think he's totally off his rocker. Fred Felps would have a series of nations on his way to a DoS...and everyone would think that he was Drunk Commies parrot...I mean puppet...

Beware of any Twinkie-Like snack cake with Charlie Browns picture on it, for it is NOT a twinkie, but a simliar creme filled sponge cake of evil.

The Anti-Twinkie....as it were.

No, but to get it you have to listen to my long rambling global conspiracy theory about how twinkies are being used to soften our brains, but at the point where the story would connect all the dots I'll make a total left turn by making an ackward cross between construction worker cat call and creepy bohemian intellectual who calls his wife "lover" comment about a girl then explain for 45 minutes the kind of relationship I'd prefer that for some reason involves a lot of things with the adjective 'organic.'

Done!

Now, we just need an overated singer with more arrogance than Sting, and a very over-rated actor, with political ties.

WooT! It's a catch-all excuse for me. That's why i use it as the discernment between hither & tither ... Verdigroth says it's my "superego", but i kinda lost track of what he was saying after that. ;)
In all honesty, i need a little give time to look sh*t up sometimes. *nods*
